#WritingWonders July 4: Would your MC ever work with one of their enemies? Why/why not?
Jynne doesn't really have personal enemies. (Or at least, she doesn't think so - a few may disagree, but since they're be a long way from Seranth and unable to return, they're not available to ask.)

Professionally? It's possible - the Watch Constabulary is willing to work with the little bads to take down a big one - but there are limits.
"All debts must be paid," says the Code, which she's fully on board with, and so turning yourself in is a non-negotiable part of the deal. Nonetheless, working with her to stop worse evils *is* meritorious conduct, and she *will* scrupulously note it down and speak for you. That's *her* debt.

For those curious, incidentally, the Code in question is Saravoné’s Code, seen here: https://eldraeverse.com/2012/04/03/saravones-code/ . It's not law itself, strictly speaking, but it remains an ethical core relied on by those who make laws and judgments.
(The earliest laws *there* originated with lawspeakers and wandering deemsters who followed Her.)
